GPS I will Follow Gods Plan

Ok, ladies, here it is! I'm so sorry this is coming a little late in the week. Things have been so crazzzzyyyy around my house. We have had every kind of flu out there and yesterday my 10 year old came home from activity days with a fever. Went to the Dr. today and Strep it is!!!! I have two Science Fairs due tomorrow and darn it pintrest, I can't get by with the good old valentines anymore. My kids want to do something cool!!! So, my poor blog has had to take the backseat for a few days so that I could be super MOMMY and put together valentines and help with science fair.
For my GPS activity I have decided that I will just do the pics to go along with the song and no words. For Christmas I taught the kiddo's a song just using pics and they seemed to learn it faster this way. The little ones have to learn visually anyway, so this works great.
On my previous GPS post I included a copy of the map of the primary room that we will be using to find the pics for the song.  You can download the pics I am using here.

At the end of the map there will be a TREASURE! I will relate this to how if we Follow Gods plan we will get to our eternal destination: I ran around for 2 days and forgot to look for a treasure box so I just did one of my own. It is something simple that I made with stuff around the house, except for the candy of course. I grabbed that at Wal mart for $.99 a pack but you really could do anything, pencils, erasers, plastic rings. The kids will really just love finding the treasure!!

Ok, so when you think of a treasure you think of something colorful and bright! I just wrapped my box with foil and used some of this Spangle mix that I had in my craft box. This just gave it a little more color!!

There you have it!! Simple, and really, if you just left it wrapped in the foil the kids will still be so excited!!
Thank you so much for stopping by and taking a peek! Let me know if you have any questions. I have kind of rushed through this this week due to the craziness! Happy Valentines Day tomorrow and Happy Singing this week!

GPS Gods Plan of Salvation

I am so sorry I am late getting this posted. It has been a rough week at my house. Everyone has been Sick, Sick, Sick! It has not been a good month. I am once again on my feet and thought I would do a short post to get my idea out there for this weeks plan! I will be starting "I will Follow Gods Plan" I was thinking I will throw a GPS spin on this one. You can download below if you are interested.

 Here's the link

I will enlarge these two images.  To start we will have a 5 minute discussion on a GPS and what it does. I will mention if you follow the GPS it will lead you to your exact destination. Then I will relate Gods Plan and how he sent us here and gave us tools to use, like the GPS, if we follow, they will lead us to our destination. (Celestial kingdom)  We will discuss a few tools he has given us, scriptures, gospel, prophet, families, etc

Here's the link

Following this discussion I will then hand the kids a map of the primary room. It will be similar to this type of map but will have things from out of the primary room.  Here is my map

The kiddo's will then follow the map to find the pics that go with the song for the month, gift, plan, heaven, home, earth, light, birth, words, love, work, pray, etc.  I will do a posterboard with the words and velcro for them to place the pics as they find them. We will sing each part as we find it and put it on the poster.

On the very last stop on our map, at the end of singing time, there will be a treasure. I will explain to the kids how we followed the map and how it led us to a treasure and how if we follow GPS Gods Plan of Salvation there is a treasure awaiting!!

This is how I will be presenting the song. I have not put all my pics together yet but will post pics as soon as I have them all done. I wanted to make sure and get the idea out there. Yet again, my brain is running faster than the rest of me:)  Please comment with any questions and I will get back to you as soon as possible! Happy Singing, Thanks for stopping by
